They've shut down a lot of fishing down south by emergency order, not enough coming in this year yet apparently, but I can't remember if that's Kings or Reds....

It's kings.
From Channel 2 facebook page;
The Kenai River is closed for king salmon for the remainder of the month, and some portions into July:

I checked on my broody this morning, she was up and around eating and drinking which I thought was strange for day 20?

I looked in on the eggs and one chick had pipped, zipped and was almost out but dead. 2-3 more are pipping......after she ate she
settled right back down on top of them. Her nest is pretty damp though....I wonder if this is normal?

Here we go... stressed but now happy meat birds....

This is a bad pic, but you can see the size of them comparing to the 2X2 that they're sitting on....

 

[MissDeb]

Does anyone have any newborns to spare? My broody hatch was a flop. Two made it out, but one was kicked out of the
nest and was cold. Almost dead...it's in the incubator now, warming up. One other one tried to hatch but it looks like she
stepped on it and it's pretty early. It's also in the incubator. She's out there with one healthy baby at this moment, I'd love to
give her a few more.....

If you have any ideas Im open to them!

 

[Wolfwoman]

I'd have PLENTY if the last shipment had made it

4 left.

 

[MissDeb]

OMG, WW!!!! I am so sorry to hear that! I wish you were closer I'd give you some
avia charge for the remainder of the babies. I'll be putting in an order if anyone wants some....It really does work!

 

[Wolfwoman]

Yeah, it's a little crazy. I'm interested in that avia charge because I'll be getting 25 meat birds here soon, and I will always have some peeps at one time or another I'm sure. Is it a large order or.... I think you sent me a link once....

Here's the link for it...
